Minecraft is a great game on its own and is constantly supported and updated by Mojang, its developers. However, the recent gameplay additions in the past few years may have upset its player-base who complained that the updates were nothing more but fluff and deviated from the “spirit of Minecraft”. This is exactly why TrueCraft was created: to give a “true” Minecraft experience before the numerous updates were implemented. The game mainly remains faithful to the source material circa 2011. With that said, how exactly does it fare and is it a game worth playing? Let’s find out:

First off, if you’re a fan of the new updates Mojang implemented on Minecraft in recent years, then this game may not be to your liking. The developers emphasized that it is not a mod, but an implementation. We’re not sure what the difference is between the two, but that’s not exactly important. In a nutshell, the gameplay elements are similar to the state of what Minecraft was before the large update in 2011. Additions like the End, gift shops, and all-in-one redstone devices aren’t here. It’s a throwback to when things were much simpler, and if you’re the kind of player who is looking for a simple Minecraft experience, this game is for you.

The game is Minecraft at its core, but unfortunately, the developers are not providing a triple-A experience the same way Mojang does. This is understandable, given that it’s a pro bono venture, but that does not change the fact that there are numerous bugs and in-game issues. One of the most notable ones include having your character suddenly flung across the air whenever you walk into a walled corner. This severely hampers the overall experience and might make you shy away from it.

In terms of features, the game is severely lacking and its elements like smart enemy AI, farming, and even beds aren’t available as of today. However, this may not bother you if you are looking for a fully creative experience. From building architectural wonders with your friends to, crafting materials through the furnaces, or just exploring plain pixelated block worlds, you won’t find yourself bored while playing it.

Fortunately, the basics and user interface of TrueCraft have already been sorted out. The day and night cycle has already gone live, along with the basics of mining and crafting. In terms of graphics and presentation, the textures are reminiscent of the old Minecraft back in the day, with everything looking last-gen. However, this factor does not play a huge part, especially for die-hard Minecraft players.

Overall, TrueCraft plays like the old Minecraft and though there are bugs and the support is relatively minimal, it’s free and you might want to give it a try. There are still a number of features it lacks, but nevertheless, it is one of your primary free block-building game options. Although it does not fully provide the entire catalogue of features Minecraft has, it’s still a game worth playing. It is constantly improving and being fixed, so give it a try and enjoy!
